A convenient device with a built-in dose counter
ADVAIR DISKUS 100/50 has a built-in dose counter that helps you and your child keep track of doses. The dose counter begins at 60 and decreases by one number with each dose your child takes. The last five numbers on the dose counter are in red, to help remind you to refill your child's prescription soon.

Helps provide long-lasting control of your child's asthma symptoms
One dose of ADVAIR DISKUS 100/50 is effective for up to 12 hours.

Simple dosing
Your child should take one inhalation in the morning and one inhalation at night, approximately 12 hours apart, as prescribed by your child's doctor.

Breath-activated
ADVAIR DISKUS 100/50 is a breath-activated device, eliminating all of the squeezing and shaking of inhalers and the hassle of spacers.

Convenient asthma treatment
ADVAIR DISKUS 100/50 treats the two main components of asthma—airway constriction, the tightening of the muscles around the airways, and inflammation, the swelling and irritation of the airways. For children 4 to 11 years old, ADVAIR is for those who have symptoms on an inhaled corticosteroid.

Together, constriction and inflammation cause the airways to narrow and reduce airflow into the lungs, which may result in symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. ADVAIR 100/50 helps to reduce such symptoms. And it's clinically proven to improve lung function.^† Results may vary.

^† In a 12-week clinical study of people 12 years of age and older, these results were experienced by people taking ADVAIR 100/50, compared with people taking either fluticasone propionate 100 mcg or salmeterol 50 mcg (inhalation powders) alone. The use of ADVAIR 100/50 in children 4 to 11 years old is based in part on results of a study in people 12 years and older and safety data in children 4 to 11 years old.
